It's pretty good.

Whenever I see this I just think of the japanese snuff film

Holy Fuck, Paul verhoven made a medieval movie?

Which inspired Berserk, no less.

I have it on my computer and while randomly clicking through the movie, I came across a rape scene.

>Some of the film was censored, including the rape sequence. This upset Jennifer Jason Leigh who was opposed to censorship. "It's a hard scene to watch," she said. "Brutal and ugly as rape is, I know it's going to upset a lot of people. But the film is extraordinary. Paul Verhoeven is so gifted."

>didn't tell Steven that Martin was escaping behind his back

I rewatched it recently and it's a mess of a movie. The late Brion James said that Verhoeven wanted the actors to overact on purpose and to do their own stunts.

>wanted the actors to overact on purpose and to do their own stunts

what, pray tell, is wrong with either of these? Oh wait, you're a film embryo that doesn't know what he's talking about.

The American actors were used to more subtle acting and the some of the stunts were dangerous. Rutger ignored Verhoeven's acting suggestions and did his own thing.

Mildly interested, pls summarise mooby

I never got that either, I mean why does the rapist live again at the end?

>>83440123
glorification of violence and Jennifer Jason Leigh naked during half of the movie.

To be realistic and ambiguous I guess.

>One of the most notable disagreements was between Verhoeven and Hauer, who wanted to cultivate a reputation for playing heroic characters rather than villains, as he did inRidley Scott'sBlade Runner. This was at odds with Verhoeven's intent to portray themoral ambiguityof its characters and the Middle Ages as a "stinking time in which to live" to distance it from typicalmedieval fantasydepictions of the period.
